Let’s be honestly no ones rotation is generally hard anymore… people don’t like bm because when it’s good it’s usually extremely toxic to play against like demo, fury and so on. They also don’t like it cause it’s hard to punish most of the time. All you do is spam damage from 40 yards away and trap sometimes if the healer walks up to you but you never have to push into get one you just pve, sit back and passively win. (May not be like that now) but when it’s good that’s generally how it goes.

I’m personally fine with bm unless it’s designed like previously stated then I also do not like playing against it.

A simple fix would be to lower the passive white hits from Pets and instead put more damage into active abilities like Kill Command.

Yea that would be a step in the right direction for sure.

They just kept up with the zoo concept of BM and focused on tons of white damage hits while letting active button abilities like Kill Command and barbed shot fall behind. That’s why Call of the Wild is such a strong (was) a strong cooldown. It calls a ton of pets that just passive white hit damage. People wouldn’t have as much of a problem with past iterations of BM if they just lowered passive white hits in PvP to basically like nothing (more for show) and had all the pets cast Kill Command or something whenever you cast it. This would be more in line with a damage cooldown.

They could bump up Barbed Shot bleed, Kill Command, and Black Arrow dot to actually be in line with active abilities. But they seem to just jump into this pit of balancing pet damage constantly and it’s either grossly over the top damage or it’s completely underwhelming.

There has not been a time in bm history that players have been ok with any design of bm when facing it. If its good people hate it. Most dont even know its actual rotation or moves list and still hate it. Its been hated in pvp for as long as ive played it. Imo its punished easier than mm. Pets can be feared off, spam rooted, wake of ashes, any stun, exorcized, hibernated, lined, ccing pets is super easy. They also get aoe slowed. Then they can swap half these things off dr onto the hunter if they want since hunter and pet dont share diminishing returns. Main pets ccd no kill commands or pet damage going out…hunter ccd off dr and the hunters doing no damage again.

Mm you only you cc pet and the hunters still pumping damage. So imo its easier to shut down bm.

bm COMPLETELY sucks in pvp…the spec is neutered beyond comprehension. Spirit mend heals for absolute garbage compared to what it used to do. The burst is nothing compared to many specs.

After the “Buffs” I still see no reason to resub.

There’s 2 options either high burst damage or high sustained and neither are bad. People seem only enjoy something when they can swiftly one shot someone doing it. BM has really high constant damage which is really good in PvP especially paired with something with high burst damage aka a feral.

I’m a 46 year old gramps with the reflexes of a stoned sloth… I’m playing BM and just 6-0’d a 1800 shuffle lobby with multi r1 feral, a frost mage and destro lock… If you’re pushing R1 (which I’m assuming your not because you’re asking this question) yeah BM isn’t meta… If you’re just a dude playing the game, BM is fine. Good even.

Sweet, thanks for the info!

Like Rokk said. If your a normal guy just playing the game for fun and to chill, then BM is just fine. All you gotta do is go after mage and other cloth armor specs. Some of my friends i play with are up to 1800 with their bm hunters.

Do you have a basic high-level rotation you abide by when bursting down someone as BM? For example the best time to cast Black Arrow for potentially quicker ticks etc.?

If your not competitive or trying to be good at the game in pvp then bm is fine, good even…lol

Man just said this…

Im not even stressing one way or the other but im definitely gonna say…if you have to preface something with…“if your not expecting to win at high rating then the spec is great” that says all you need to know.

Guys if your expecting to lose vs any high skilled player of another class then bm is the best spec for you…

Guys if you want to win at below average games bm is great.

Guys if you want to be mediocre but good bm is the spec for you.

Equivalent of what was written.
